Capital Cabaret:
Capital Cabaret was founded in 2022 as a 501(c)3 non-profit to produce the National Capital Cabaret Festival each March. We are the first organization to bring a dedicated cabaret festival to DC! “March is Cabaret Month” is celebrated nationally in New York, Chicago, Seattle and Minneapolis, but can you believe Washington DC, a cultural as well as political capital did not? We are pleased to open the 2024 National Capital Cabaret Festival with a New Artist Showcase on Friday and bring national headliners to the Arts Club of Washington.
Roger Schmelzer:
Roger Schmelzer comes to Capital Cabaret as an accomplished cabaret vocalist and has been hailed as “a born crooner, put on earth to sing standards in a supper club.” He creates an intimate evening of classic cabaret updated with a crisp, contemporary sound.
Following his critically acclaimed NYC solo debut (directed by the legendary Marilyn Maye), Roger appeared at Carnegie Hall in a tribute to Jerome Kern sponsored by the Mabel Mercer Foundation. From there Roger has literally taken his act on the road, performing at cabaret venues from coast to coast and earning the label “master of the American Songbook.” Roger’s recording, "About Now" was described by public radio as "Chock-full of the sorts of clever lyrics and lush arrangements that characterize songs for intimate settings from the last century to today."
The Arts Club of Washington is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. located at 2017 I Street N.W., Washington D.C. 20006
